Tutorial: Rapidly Identifying Disease-associated Rare Variants using Annotation and Machine Learning at Whole-genome Scale Online. |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Accurately identifying disease-associated alleles from large sequencing experiments remains challenging. During this tutorial, participants will learn how to use a new variant annotation and filtering web app called Bystro (https://bystro.io/) to analyze sequencing experiments. Bystro is the first online, cloud-based application that makes variant annotation and filtering accessible to all researchers for even the largest, terabyte-sized whole-genome experiments containing thousands of samples. Using its general-purpose, natural-language filtering engine, attendees will be shown how to perform quality control measures and identify alleles of interest. They will then be guided in exporting those variants, and using them in both a regression context by performing rare-variant association tests in R, as well as classification context by training new machine learning models in Python's scikit-learn library.
